- | A model is the representation | + | A model is a mathematical description |
+ | |||
+ | It contains a set of parameters and mathematical equations related to each other, in order to describe the behavior of such process or system. | ||
+ | Model may be static | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Static models** are used for systems in equilibrium. Relationships in the model are constant. Models have closed form mathematical solition. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Dynamic models** account for time-dependent changes in the state of the system.Dynamic models typically are represented by differential equations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When using the Ecolego [[ODE_toolbox|ODE toolbox]], a model consisting of several interconnected compartments is equivalent to a system of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODE). | ||
